Wait, let me get this straight. The EMT gets posted at 5:43AM on a Sunday, yet during the week it rolls in like half 8 or 9?

We are indeed through the looking glass.

AND . . . good Sunday morning, my fellow rape-shifters.

16 The RNCe is still trying to woo those Hispanic voters who always vote 70% Dem.

PHOENIX (AP) Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is drawing larger crowds as he continues to criticize immigration policies in stark language that has revealed a deep divide between immigration hawks and moderates who are trying to avoid alienating Hispanic voters.

I am no fan of Trump but he is right on this score.

"This new Amazon show called 'The Man in the High Castle' explores what would have happened if the Allies had lost World War II...."

This is also called, "current events".

The US has a messianic, godhead "leader". Check

He uses the instruments of the state's bureaucracy to crush political dissenters. Check.

America is a totalitarian, militarized police state

The Rule of Law does not exist. The nation's high Court does the bidding of the regime and the party. Check

On any day an ordinary citizen can inadvertently commit any one of thousands of arbitrary crimes that can land him in prison at a bureaucrat's whim. Check.

A feckless, state run media operates as a tool of the party. Check.

Good morning Horde!

Busy day today. First, take the dogs swimming, followed by bathing them. Replant the one hundred or so daylilies that I dug up yesterday in a new location in the yard, which means digging up sod. Then replant sedum that was interspersed among the daylilies in their former location, after first moving some displaced soil into that location.

Shower, eat dinner, then drive two hours to return our neighbors' dog to them after their weeklong vacation and to get ready for my metalworking classes on Monday and Tuesday. I shall go to bed tired tonight.

88 On a Trump note, since Vic says it's okay...

Unrestricted illegal immigration is the last step needed to "fundamentally transform" the country. Bring in, and later amnesty, 30-40+ million Dem voters and this place is *done*. Only Trump, of all the candidates, seems to give a damn.

Maybe he's just trolling and will flame out.

Maybe his running will destroy the GOP. Since I just quit them, I should probably say good riddance. The marital split between the "comfortable class" and us working stiffs is probably irreconcilable. What the GOPe has done since the last elections, where we voters gave them what they wanted, is like your spouse bringing a one-night-stand home and taking them to your bed, while you're sitting flabbergasted in the living room.

Maybe the Dems will win. What difference, at this point, does it make? The GOPe won't make any attempts at all to roll back any of the court decisions, and they're pro-illegal. Hildabeast, at least she lets you know how much it's going to hurt. And she's promised us Happy Fun Camps. I don't see the GOPe offering us those... Yet. (As Rush says, they always tell you what they're going to do.)

Or maybe Trump will win and somehow stop the invasion.

Is there a higher priority than that, at this point? If so, what is it?

89 Mornin' miscreants!

I see the LA Times headline reads "Donald trump's immigration stance divides, inflames, and inspires". I'm frankly surprised they acknowledged the latter. Of course his fan base is seen as angry disenfranchised white male veterans who hate Latinos and people of color.

Why, it's like they didn't see the people who shared the stage with him in his talk on victims of illegal alien crime. Male, female, black, white, brown, native and immigrant.

96 I did a lot of work yesterday, but I also got lots of sleep last night. In addition to mowing, which I do more or less every weekend, I also did edging, which I only do about once a month, and trimmed the shrubs out front, which I only do once or twice a year.

Then I made a big batch of spaghetti sauce, most of which I portioned into containers and froze. This makes enough sauce that I only have to do it about every three months.

So it was like a perfect storm of yard work and cooking.

I saw a quote the other day that said Lindsay Grahm accused Trump of ruining the Republican Party. Personally I give Grahm, Boener, mcConnel, etc., credit for the destruction of the party. They have remade it in their own image, and since they are not leaders, people are breaking away from the repubs and looking for a new party. And Grahm, Boener etc are blaming Trump!

Infidel, I went to good schools and even I learned about 80% of my (very modest) historical knowledge through the books my parents had in our personal library. It's even better, in a way, when kids discover history on their own. Then it's a joy to read and not just another assignment.

Talking with other 'rons and 'ettes, this self-education seems to be pretty common.

178 Trump is a clown: He's loud and boorish and sometimes funny. He makes a living getting people to pay attention to his antics.

No, he makes a living as a businessman in several different ways - construction, hotels, etc. He is a celebrity because he gets people to pay attention to his antics.

Rephrase of the question: How many of you would refuse to vote if Trump is the Republican nominee?

I am going to start desecrating Civil War Union Army memorials due to
the North's unbridled hatred of the South. Especially any memorial to
the war criminal William T. Sherman.

Posted by: Army of Northern Virginia at July 12, 2015 08:17 AM (Gcu5R)"

Almost all of the Union Civil War memorials are in northern towns and cities. There were a lot of memorial statues put up about 20 years after the war ended both in the north and south. There was a second, smaller fad to put up Confederate memorials in 1915 because it was the 50th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, because more southern towns could afford a memorial and because the movie "Birth of a Nation" had come out.

If you travel to a northern town to desecrate a Civil War memorial you will be doing Barack Obama an enormous favor. Remember where all this current CBF hysteria started? Do you think that this is the result that Dylan Roof intended?

To be quite honest, I would be happy to see anybody defacing any Civil War memorial shot down like a dog by the police.

This kind of thing is so scary. We have a fair bit of crime here but nothing like this.

Which reminds me: we need gps systems that avoid bad neighborhoods. I was in Louisiana a few years ago trying to get back to my hotel and somehow missed the freeway turnoff so gps took me some other way and I stopped at a stop sign and realized there were a bunch of people standing around after dark by a pawn shop... Told my coworkers who lived there the next day and they were like, yeah, you don't want to drive over there.

I remember my dad taking me to NYC to start college. Back then, I was told to not walk the streets at night. (I did anyway) It was an education in itself. But I survived and learned a lot about people. I still remember meeting an old lady who told me to not grow old in NYC..I took her advice.

It's American history as well. And once the Red Guards are done with anything related to the CSA they'll move on to removing any Founding Fathers or other American politicians for owning slaves. This is our version of Mao's Cultural Revolution courtesy of Comrade Rainbow Flag

If you don't like the weather where you are, move someplace else instead of complaining about it to us. It doesn't get as hot as that in Alaska and there is no state income tax.

I watched the video where some Jewish group was asking college students (Penn?) to name any of the death/concentration camps during WWII. I don't remember how many got any of 'em, but the number approached zero.

When you have no history, you have no country.

When you have no border, you have no country.

And what does this accomplish? The sheer idiocy of the left is staggering.

No, this is not idiocy. The left is trying to erase its history - so that no one can bring it up. If your side had a history that included:

Slavery, The KKK, Lynching, Japanese internment camps, 30,000,000 murdered in Russia, 6,000,000 murdered in Germany, 60,000,000 murdered in China, 2,000,000 murdered in Cambodia, and 50,000,000 murdered babies in the United States wouldn't you be trying to erase it?

Morning everyone.

Up with the kid after spraying for ants for what seems like the millionth time this summer.

Had a great fight with Mrs. CLS about how when the mother in law
comes to town I'm expected to put up with her shit for five days even
though she's a terrible person who will increase the stress in this
house 1000%

Also I will be drunk for that five day period.

Posted by: clsesq at July 12, 2015 08:53 AM (cdiDN)"

I can't do anything about your Mother in Law. What cannot be cured must be endured.

On the other hand, spraying for ants is just temporary relief since you are just killing workers who only live for a few days any how. What you need is poisoned food that they will bring back to the nest and feed to the queen. Once the queen is dead, she stops laying eggs which hatch into worker ants and the nest dies. Get some ant bait and put it out. You might have to try several kinds. Some of the stuff they sell and all of the organic stuff is worthless. If you have pets or kids, you probably only want to get the stuff in metal cans with holes that the ants go into to get the poisoned food. Put the cans on the ant trails and don't spray for a few days. Dead ants can't bring the poison home.

194 Infidel, I just got back. He looks good, was grazing normally and really dug in when I gave him a big snack. Back in a couple hours to make sure he's okay. Knock on wood, he might be back to his normal feeding/meds routine in a day or two.

195 For those bashing the North, I'm not going to re-fight the battle here about how the South was in the wrong and only suffered as much because they didn't quit when beat. I just want to say that I've seen quite a few CBF's flying in Ohio. It's not the North or the South that's the problem, it's the Progressives and sell-out Republicans.
